Happy shiny new diary!
Have to admit I am rather jealous of you earning money from a blog and running online courses!
Just looked up your blog and am looking forward to settling down for a good read this evening!This sounds like a diary I need to follow! 2 small boys here too and one of the things on my hit list to do in the next few weeks is to move their money into a S&S ISA. I used to overpay our mortgage too but have a cracking rate now so looking at investments instead and hubs and I have just increased our pension contributions too. I follow a few FIRE pages and groups too.Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Well, thanks for the welcome!
I feel like I need somewhere to keep my ideas and general ramblings together and this seemed like the best place. I don't know if I'll be able to get online each night to write anything, as DS2 is downstairs until around about 10pm at the moment so it's a case of juggling blogging, finances and here.
Positives today:- NSD
- £31 dividend payment received
- Yummy food day
I am slowly working on increasing income via different streams slowly but surely!Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

We've had a lovely family day today. Quite lazy too; was in my dressing gown until 11am! But, sometimes it is needed. And it was chucking it down with rain so didn't want to go anywhere.
Positive things today:
- NSD
- leftovers for lunch
- freezer meal for tea - spag bol
- watched more of The Killing

Happy new diary, SF. Thought you had disappeared altogether, so nice to see you back.
Awful weather today here in Derbyshire too. It's meant to be nice next week ... typical as Mrs. K. and I are away. :rotfl:2018 totals:

What a lovely day we've had we spent the day with my neighbour and her two children, so my two boys are absolutely shattered. DS1 has played for five hours non stop, and only stopped when we had to go home for tea. DS2 has gurgled and observed everyone all day, which apparently is equally as tiring
Positives today:- NSD
- Lovely neighbours
- Sunshine!
